What I find amusing is that even on their website the boldface portion of the statement it was boldfaced as well

:rolleyes:

I know a lot of folks on here think all I do is moan and groan, but it is annoying.

However, I do see the fixed the glitch with the boarding passes and having it show your status. It is now indeed showing "PLATINUM" on the boarding pass, right above where it says:

SEAT:
74C


Does anyone find me midly amusing? :D

On occasion ;)

Recently, I have flew a lot segments (I think 12-14 in 2 weeks). Here is what I noticed, the Thursday/Sunday flights have the worst chance of upgrades, but mid-week is pretty much a mix. Also, Seattle seems to have some high loads... I was shocked to see how many times the flight goes out packed.

This group of trips... 3 out of the 4 upgradable segments went through.... ^

Yeah, I see that all the time, now I just call and play nice . . . that seems to be the only way I get the bump.

Wish they would figure out a way to re-structure / rework the upgrade process. I gather they are selling a great number of F seats these days, people seem willing to pay.

Cheersh

Before I made elite I would try to check in as close to the 24 hour check-in time as possible to purchase the $150 upgrade between phx and nyc (jfk or ewr).
